Probabilistic Approach to Implementing Traffic Signal Warrants
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Traffic signal warrants documented in the -
Analysis of Repeated-Load Field Testing of Buried Plastic Pipes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper describes a full-scale field trial carried out on plastic pipes buried in trenches, which were repeatedly loaded by a heavy vehicle driven along an overlying haul road. The vertical deformation of the pipes was ... -
Fatigue Crack Growth in Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A common laboratory fatigue test for life estimation of pavements uses a repeated load flexural device with nonlayered beam specimens. As a result of such factors as traffic wander, and also due to different crack growth ... -
Costs of Demonstration Projects: A Study of Timber Bridge Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Cost data and bridge property data were collected for 121 timber bridges constructed as demonstration projects and for 206 timber bridges that were not demonstration projects. After controlling for selected structural and ... -
Pedestrian Speed/Flow Relationships for Walking Facilities in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper reports on the findings of pedestrian flow characteristics for different types of walking facilities in Hong Kong. Surveys were conducted during peak hours at indoor and outdoor walkways, signalized crosswalks ... -
Using ELECTRE III to Choose Route for Dublin Port Motorway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The 1985 European Union Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment was transported into Irish law in 1988. The resulting complex environmental impact statements often contain large volumes of information on relevant ... -
Development of a Pavement Rutting Model from Experimental Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Properly specified pavement deterioration models are an important input for the efficient management of pavements, the allocation of cost responsibilities to various vehicle classes for their use of the highway system, and ... -
Aerodynamics of Electrically Driven Freight Pipeline System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper examines the aerodynamic characteristics of a freight pipeline system in which freight capsules are individually propelled by electrical motors. The fundamental difference between this system and the more ... -
Design and Analysis System for Thermal Cracking in Asphalt Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A reliability based mix design and analysis system for thermal cracking in asphalt concrete pavements is described and demonstrated in this paper. Asphalt-aggregate mixture performance in terms of low temperature cracking ... -
SP Approach toward Driver Comprehension of Message Formats on VMS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This study attempts to examine driver comprehension of the traffic information that is presented in three formats, namely, the numerical format, the description format, and the switch-on-light format. A stated preference ... -
Ground-Penetrating Radar for Network-Level Concrete Deck Repair Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The lack of an effective bridge deck condition assessment tool prompted a collaborative research program between Dalhousie University DalTech and the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Public Works to assess the ... -
Optimization of Runway Orientation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper presents a computer model, named WNDROS, for optimizing the runway orientation based on given wind data and allowable crosswind component. The model is based on a mathematical formulation, which transfers circles ... -
Use of Friction and Texture in Pavement Performance Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The International Friction Index (IFI) is used for consideration of skid resistance and macrotexture in a probabilistic pavement performance modeling framework. IFI provides a friction scale that can be used for comparisons ... -
Evaluation of Mobility Impacts of Advanced Information Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Advanced technologies under the aegis of advanced traveler information systems and advanced traffic management systems are being employed to address the debilitating traffic congestion problem. Broadly identified under the ... -
Total Quality Design of Pavements Surfaced with Pavers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper describes a total quality approach to the specification of pavements surfaced with pavers, which allows those factors that govern the performance of a pavement to be identified and quantified. Case studies are ... -
Preferences for Permitted and Protected Left-Turn Signal Displays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Twenty-two different signal displays for permitted and protected left turns were evaluated from a driver comprehension perspective. The objective was to identify which alternate signal displays used to convey the same ... -
Response of Rigid Pavements due to Vehicle-Road Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The dynamic response of a pavement structure, subject to a moving vehicle load, is investigated on a unified analytic framework. The time-dependent deflection and its derived dynamic quantities for a slab structure are ... -
Nonlinear Response of Transverse Joints of Airfield Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The response of transverse joints of airfield rigid pavements subjected to wheel load is studied. It covers the linear and nonlinear behaviors of the joint by suitably modeling the concrete as elastoviscoplastic and the ... -
Longitudinal Assessment of Transportation Planning Forecasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Transportation planning applications typically calibrate models for a base year and then make forecast year projections. However, modelers rarely evaluate the accuracy of their forecasts by using past data sets to predict ... -
